Recycled with Pride! Exeter-made rainbow candles to support Stonewall
Exeter's unique candle recycling business has created a limited edition range of candles to celebrate Pride 2021.
Made from 100% recycled wax, The Recycled Candle Company’s eye-catching rainbow striped candles will be available until September. 10% from all sales will be donated to the LGBTQ+ campaigning charity Stonewall.
In addition, every candle sold will include a free illustration, created by one of five handpicked artists from the LGBTQ+ community - including several from Devon - have designed original illustrations. With one for each of the five months of Pride, every candle sold will include a free illustration
Richard Hills-Ingyon says "Sadly many Pride events across the country have been cancelled for the second year in a row, including our local Exeter event.
"Lighting a rainbow candle is a lovely way to take a moment to think of our LGBTQ+ community, which has been affected deeply by the pandemic."
The Recycled Candle Company was founded by Richard and business partner Sargon Latchin in 2014 to fill a gap in the recycling stream. The wax from used candles and tealights is melted down, filtered and hand poured into luxury new candles.
The rainbow candles are unscented and prices start from £22 for a single heart, up to £55 for a five wick candle.
